Bludging

Well, I have been deprived access to the internet the last couple of days. My new school, Rokusho, has had their connection sliced by the demolition crew on the school yard and they don't seem to be in a hurry to fix it. I have been going a little mental without access to mail, and hence friends. Yesterday arvo we three CIRs just took off home, each saying we were at each others schools. It worked out nicely. I went home, cracked open a tinny and had a snooze in the sun. I have a fridge full of beer now thanks to a generous neighbour who also left 6 massive peaches which have constituted a vast portion of my diet over the last couple of days.

My new school is double the size of Nishi and the building itself is brand new. The staff room is quite large and my desk is unfortunately positioned right in front of the principal's. Aside from the lack of internet thing it is all going well there. The teacher's have left me to my own business which has allowed me to sneak out early and generally do as I please. Lately I have just been working on the translation they asked me to do, which is coming along nicely. Tomorrow a couple of new teachers for the middle schools in Konko and Yoroshima arrive so Hirai has asked me to help out with them... not sure what he wants me to do. But anyway, my party with the Nishi crew is tomorrow night so I won't be helping too much after 7pm... The girl who is coming was in my Jap class at Adelaide Uni last year... small world huh? The bloke is from Sydney I think. Hopefully their arrival will mean more bludging opportunities for me... Yay!!
